Makes decent money, not the best fit in the offense, and because we cut LBs after signing them so there's a thought we could do the same at WR.

I hope they keep him but it could become a numbers game with Hartline, Gibson, Wallace as three that will obviously be on the roster, have to believe Rishard Matthews will make the team as they liked him a lot last year, they will still probably draft 1-2 more, could make sense to let Bess go.

QB Drew Stanton - Signed a three-year, $8.2 million contract. The deal contains $3 million guaranteed -- a $2 million signing bonus and Stanton's first-year base salary. Another $11.8 million is available through incentives.

Explain this to me: Drew got $2 million for 1 year last offseason, and got traded when the Jets inexplicably acquired Tebow for nothing to the Colts. Now fast forward a year later, Stanton did not play a single down last year yet gets considerably more this year? I don't understand how this happened. He did nothing different, it's not like he magically made Andrew Luck play well.

It's Dumervil's agents job to make sure the team gets the contract. I'd fire him in a heartbeat. Highly doubt the whole 'he did it on purpose' thing has any legs since there is a very small chance of him scoring 8 million dollars from anyone this offseason.

A defensive end with 63 ˝ career sacks has just been cut because of paperwork. The upstairs floor at Dove Valley was thrown into chaos Friday afternoon when the signature page from Elvis Dumervil and his agent Marty Magid that signed off on a new contract arragement arrived on the Broncos' fax machine at 2:06 p.m. — 6 minutes and one second past the deadline to file contracts to the NFL office. When the Broncos did not have the paperwork in hand, they released Dumervil in lieu of guaranteeing his $12 million salary for the 2013 season. By cutting Dumervil, the Broncos might be confronted with $4.869 million in dead money against their salary cup. The Broncos were only about $50,000 below the cap as of Thursday afternoon so there were complications in trying to re-sign Dumervil at what was once an agreed-to addendum to his contract. Let's take this from the top. The Broncos had asked Dumervil to take a pay cut from the $12 million salary that was to become fully guaranteed if he still was on the team's roster by 2 p.m. Friday. On Wednesday, the Broncos had raised their proposal to $7.5 million in 2013, while also moving $3 million in guarantee to a later year in Dumervil's contract. Dumervil was scheduled to make $10 million in 2014 and $8 million in 2015, with none of those dollars guaranteed. Dumervil, who had 20 ˝ sacks the previous two seasons when he made a collective $28 million, balked. Instead, his agent sent back a counterproposal that was more about restructuring his contract — i.e. moving money — rather than slashing it. Both sides budged some Friday, with the Broncos giving Dumervil and his agent a 1 p.m. deadline to decide what to do. Dumervil's decision — accept the new contract or get released. When 1 p.m. came and went, Broncos front-office boss John Elway and coach John Fox huddled to discuss their next course of action. Elway and Fox figured Dumervil was gone and Plan B was in the discussion stages when precisley at 1:25 p.m. Broncos contract chief Mike Sullivan walked in and interrupted their meeting by saying, "He took the deal." At that point, Sullivan faxed the new proposal to Magid and Dumervil. The Broncos needed the signature pages back from both so the team could also sign the new terms then send off the page with all three autographs to the league office before the 2 p.m. deadline. When the signature pages didn't arrive by 1:59, the Broncos quickly released Dumervil for fear they would be stuck with a $12 million salary. The team could still re-sign Dumervil, but there are salary cap implications. Dumervil's release gives the Broncos a dead money hit and limits their ability to bring him back with a new deal. Although such snags are rare, they occassionally happen. The Broncos were collectively angered by the turn of events Friday afternoon, but after a cooling off period, the team could re-sign Dumervil as soon as Saturday. Until then, Dumervil has been officially released to free agency.

According to USA Today, free agent Elvis Dumervil's player rep is blaming the Broncos for Friday's contract debacle.

As ESPN's Andrew Brandt would say, "there will be lawyers." Dumervil's rep is alleging the Broncos changed the terms of the sides' agreement at the last minute, delaying the process. Dumervil's camp reportedly sent its ill-fated fax at 3:55ET, right as the Broncos were cutting him out of a supposed abundance of caution. The sides have yet to talk since the fiasco. We'd expect many twists and turns over the next 48 hours.
